Ravens expected to start Tyler Huntley in Week 16?

Jackson missing again was the anticipated course of action; the former MVP missed all three Ravens practices this week. Huntley missed Friday’s practice due to a non-COVID illness but should be ready to make another start. Both Jackson and Huntley are listed as questionable.

Huntley has fared well in relief of Jackson, despite his UDFA status. The ex-Utah Ute had the Packers on the ropes in Week 15, throwing for 215 yards and rushing for 73 in a 31-30 loss. Baltimore, however, lost in Huntley’s relief outing against Cleveland and via a missed two-point conversion against Green Bay. Of course, the Ravens lost their most recent game with Jackson as well. They have lost three straight.

With a win over the Bengals, the Ravens would boast a 67% chance to win the AFC North, per ESPN’s Football Power Index. Illustrating the stakes Sunday, a loss would drop Baltimore to an 8.7% chance of securing a home playoff game. A loss would hurt the Ravens’ chances of merely making the playoffs; they have matchups with the Rams and Steelers remaining.
